This week I'm joined by Philip Bedwell (he's never been in neighbours or Home and away) to talk about a few things, First his new role in BFI short Choke hold, then about fun fake fighting in films, Depressing realities of the real life fight world and eventually we stumble into Russell Crowe's new MMA movie Beast.

It gets real spoilery real fast, so turn off when the trailer kicks in if you really don't want to know what happens... although to be honest, the trailer shows you most of what happens.

Directed by Tyler Atkins (Bosch, Rockit), Beast stars Academy Award® winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind), Daniel MacPherson (Foundation, Land of Bad) & Luke Hemsworth (The Witcher, WestWorld). Other stars of the film include Bren Foster, George Burgess, Mojean Aria, Kelly Gale, Amy Shark and Saphira Moran. The film was co-written by David Frigerio (Land of Bad) & Russell Crowe, marking Crowe's second writing credit, following Poker Face in 2022.

Beast follows ex-con Patton James (Daniel MacPherson), who abandoned his mixed martial arts dream to support his wife, Luciana (Kelly Gale), and daughter. When Patton’s brother Malon suffers a serious injury in a fi ght to make good on his debts, Patton has to risk everything to get back in the ring to avenge him. But to reclaim his old glory and succeed in the ONE Championship, Patton must regain the trust of his ace trainer (Russell Crowe) and keep his own family together.
